Courage is resistance to fear, mastery of fear not absence
of fear. —Mark
Twain

It is not
unusual to feel afraid. It is unusual, however, to hear anyone admit to feeling
afraid. Sometimes we think there are some people who are so cool and calm that
they never feel afraid. This may make us think we're not as good because we know
how often we feel afraid. This is why it is important to think about what
courage really is. It is not the absence of fear. Courage is not letting fear
stop us from doing what we need to do.

We
might have to get up in front of a group to give a speech. We could give in to
our fear and not give the speech, or we could admit our fear to those who love
us, and then go ahead and do the best we can. To go ahead in the face of fear is
courage.What am I
afraid of?
